"This body of Modern
and Contemporary artists' sites brings insight into the depth and scope of
extraordinary artists' oeuvres, and it serves as a research tool for students,
faculty, museum curators, researchers, dealers and collectors.
Artist Works Catalogues reflect the dynamic nature of the Web, and our goal is
to present a growing body of artists' online monographs. Unlike published print
monographs and catalogues raisonnà s, these are living catalogues, which will be
constantly updated as artists create new works and estates release additional
information. Artnet offers these
catalogues free to the public as an educational resource. Simply click on an individual artist's image
to begin, and check back often to browse new catalogues.
